In his words, the call is also addressed to parliaments of other countries. A. Melikian noted that direct talks between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan may become a key for solving the problem and that only Nagorno Karabakh can assume the responsibility both for the territories and the refugees. Answering the question whether it is a call to Armenia’s withdrawal from the negotiation process, Melikian noted “it is the approach of Nagorno Karabakh.” In his words, at the moment the outcomes of the talks between Yerevan and Baku do not provide an exact notion on the further developments.” Nagorno Karabakh is not left outside the negotiation framework, as it possesses the whole information on the talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the NKR FM stated. Speaking of the opportunity for certain concessions by Stepanakert, Arman Melikian noted that “these can only take place in the course of direct talks between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan, as now we do not hold direct talks, speaking of concessions is early.”
